ANSWER: Losing your wallet or credit card

[tailgaitingph]

I have to agree. Lost my wallet with ID, credit/debit cards & cash in it last year in BVI.
We came back to the sailboat by dinghy after closing down Willie T's (an old boat turned into a bar). I managed to not make the step onto the boat (might have had a few pain killers, shots, beers & whatever else at the bar) and ended up in the water. My wallet, which I thought was securely in my bathing suit, fell into the water. Didn't even realize it til the next morning
Anyway, I thankfully left my passport on the boat & friend lent me some cash. It sucked though to not have those cards as I didn't take that much cash with me. Ugh
Silver linning of the story...
Few weeks after I got home, I got a call from a guy (who was in BVI) that his daughter found my wallet (while diving) and once they got home (NY) he would mail it to me. He did!
That really restored my faith in humanity!!

I have a lost wallet story that isn't quite as good as this one. Years ago I lost my wallet in NYC. I got back to my office, realized it was gone and went online to get the customer service numbers for all my credit cards so I could cancel them. I used to keep a few business cards in my wallet and a week or so later I got a call at work. Some guy said he was a doorman at an apartment building in Manhattan and his father had found my wallet on the street in the Bronx. He gave me the address of the building where he worked and I went to meet him the next day. The cash was gone but everything else was still in it, credit cards, debit card, driver's license. Everything. Except my blood donor card.
